Now Booking! Fall Mini Sessions in Orange County!

In the world of family photographers, the months of September through December are referred to as "Family Photo Season" because it is by far the busiest season for family photos. Everyone wants updated photos for holiday greetings by mail or on social media and family photos make great gifts for grandparents! I offer a wide range of mini session options during the fall to hopefully meet as many needs as possible. Check out the information and links below with dates, locations and links to my booking site for more info or to book your session!

Most of my weekend mini sessions were released for booking in mid-May to my VIP group on Facebook. Members of that group get early and first access to booking any special limited edition sessions, and many of the spots were sold out within a couple days. Any openings for sold out sessions will be posted here first! You can join the group here: Chaotic Perfection Photography VIP Facebook Group

Below are just some of my mini session offerings throughout the fall.... to see all the things on one page, please visit my booking site for ALL the minis, dates, pricing info, to book your spot, or join a waiting list. CLICK HERE TO VISIT BOOKING SITE

Orange County Red Truck Christmas Tree Farm Mini Sessions!


Want your holiday images to evoke all the Hallmark Christmas movie vibes??? That's exactly what inspired me to first do these sessions, to track down a vintage red pickup truck.... to make all my own Hallmark dreams come true!!! These sesssions are done in October (because the tree farm doesn't allow photographers in November) and typically are sold out by mid summer! You can get all the details and book your session HERE.

New for 2024 - Limited Edition "Surfing Santa" Beach Mini Sessions!


It's Santa, but we're gonna make it Orange County!


The decor will be changing from the "traditional" holiday decor that I normally use (except for the VW Bus and my rad surfboard) to be more beachy..... think a palm tree with ornaments, maybe some beach balls, and packages wrapped in Hawaiian Christmas

wrapping paper.


Santa will be dressed in shorts and a Hawaiian Christmas shirt!
